Flavours to expect

Brown ales are malt-forward (unsurprisingly) and often somewhat nutty and with flavours of dried fruit and dark sugar. This one is, by the sounds of it, a modern version with a more assertive hop character. Here’s how the brewery describes it:

Our take on the traditional English brown ale, coupled with floral American hops. Malt-forward and robust, with earthy aromas and flavours of demerara, smooth oak and hazelnuts. Balanced by the floral, elderberry-like aromas of the Willamette hops. This is English brown ale, rebooted.
